Paulson Coletti Trial Attorneys PC handles injury claims involving improper construction on both private and public property. We have handled multiple Portland premises liability lawsuits involving improperly constructed structures, including apartment building incidents, defective wiring, and poorly built lofts. In one premises liability claim, we were able to recover a $1.26 million settlement. If you were injured in this type of accident, we encourage you to speak with a Portland construction defect lawyer at our law firm.
Improper construction claims are also often referred to as “construction defect” cases. In the event that poor construction is the cause of an accident, the plaintiff could potentially file a claim against the company and/or individual that constructed the defective object.
What do we mean by poor construction?
At Paulson Coletti, “liberty and justice for all” is more than just a phrase – it is our mandate. Our team of trial lawyers is driven to pursue justice for the injured, ensuring that the responsible parties are held accountable. With a high success rate both in and out of the courtroom, you can trust our Oregon personal injury lawyers to be the legal advocates you need so your voice can be heard.
Even if a building or structure is constructed up to code, if it remains for long enough, it will decay. It’s a basic second law of thermodynamics scenario. Just as wood rots and metal corrodes, laws and codes change. At the time of your accident, you may have been inside of what was once a safe structure but was not maintained to remain up to current safety standards.
For example, homeowners may be held liable for failing to maintain their properties in safe conditions, and landlords can also be responsible for injuries caused by poorly maintained rental properties. If you were injured due to these issues, you may want to explore claims related to Homeowner Liability or Landlord Liability.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
